What does it mean when the SRS light comes on in a 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer?

And what does it take to fix it? And how much will it cost?|||SRS. Supplemental Restraint System, or air bags.





If there is a failure in the sensors, SRS unit, inflator, or their circuits, the SRS indicator light in the Gage assembly comes ON. As a system check, the SRS indicator light also comes on when the ignition is first turned ON to the (II) position. If the light goes off after approximately six seconds, the system is okay. If the SRS indicator light remains on (or fails to come on in the system chock mode), one of the SRS components (or the wiring/connectors in-between) is faulty.





Each individual component needs to be checked to determine where the problem is. Since there is a very real possibility that the airbags may deploy while testing the system, I highly recommend letting a dealer test it.





Cost of course will vary as to what they find wrong.|||I'm assuming you're not in the USA since we don't have 07 Lancers except for fleet vehicles. That aside, you shouldn't be paying for anything unless you wrecked it or managed to put more than 60K miles on it. Most SRS lights I see pertain to the passenger system, OCS. I don't believe your car needs it calibrated like most other mitsubishi's do. The only suggestion is to look under the driver's seat and make sure those connectors are connected, I've seen people put stuff under there and bust them loose. If it's not connected, DON'T connect it unless you first disconnect the battery for at least one minute. I'd take it back to the dealer, but this is a common fix on that gen Lancer should you feel qualified to fix it.
